The Trapper Becomes the Trapped as Vieira Pays Off Holz
Nivel 25
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Alexander Zubov picked up A♣A♦ in the hijack and raised to 500,000 but found no callers.
The next hand, action folded to Joao Vieira who limped in with A♣K♣. Fedor Holz checked back K♥J♣ and they saw a flop of A♥9♥4♦.
Vieira led out for 250,000 with top pair and Holz called. Both players then checked the 2♥ turn.
The river was the 6♥ and Holz improved to the nut flush. Vieira then bet 350,000 and Holz raised to 2,025,000.
Vieira ended up using five time banks as he spent several minutes muttering to himself and peeking over at the stoic Holz. He eventually called and Holz took down the big pot.
